Public bug reported: I would like to request ubuntu/gnome adds the ability to set which wireless networks are preferred. Perhaps even a whitelist.
This is for convenience sake and for security's sake. Right now Ubuntu seems to randomly connect to available networks or perhaps picks the one with the strongest signal, which may or may not be the one you want to use. This is inconvenient if it always picks the wrong network, and it is insecure if it switches without your knowledge to a network you do not normally use or trust. See these threads for some examples of the problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=284224 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236259 Windows has a feature where you can check if a wireless network is preferred. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Visibility changed to: Public -- Allow setting of preferred wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
